Yat Wai Cheng is currently leading in the Asia Championship of Poker Main Event. A win would take him from 19th in the Asia Player of the Year Rankings to the top spot, with only two events to go.
Sparrow Cheung, Yuguang Li, and Ka Cheong Wong are all also within striking distance. If any of these players wins the Main Event, they would have enough points to overtake the current leader, Alan King Lun Lau. Of course, with so many of them still alive, the positions could shift dramatically should they all make deep runs.
No too long ago, Daniel Neilson and Yan Li both had 101,000 chips. This is no limit poker though so one is never far from busting. Unfortunately for these two players, that was the case as they have been confirmed as out of the Main Event.
